Anne was easy going, organised and tidy with great communication. Moose was well looked after which meant we didn’t need to worry when we were away. Would highly recommend!

Kaz was amazing as a house sitter, stepping in at short notice when I was delayed from my return from Australia. The house was impeccable when she left and the fur kids were so well looked after I am sure they didnt miss me at all! Kaz sent me regular updates and even bonded with my shy cat 'Jack'. I nearly fell over when I received videos of him purring happily on her lap! I would highly recommend Kaz as a sitter. Her communication was great, she was confident, capable and although I wasn't able to spend any time with her she managed everything without fuss.

Wanda and Don were fantastic. They were great communicators and gave us the reassurance we needed in leaving our dogs in their care. They sent us regular photos which was just what we needed when missing our dogs while on holiday. The house was left in meticulous condition. We would recommend them to anyone and would seek them out again in the future.

Peta-Jan and Tim were so reliable, friendly and genuinely lovely. They looked after our hobby farm, goats, chickens and sheep for two weeks with care, and left our house spotless. They left a delicious home cooked meal for us on our arrival home, which was so much appreciated. They communicated clearly, and let us know anything important, but also left us alone to switch off mentally and enjoy our holiday as much as possible. I felt very comfortable having them in my home and felt I could trust them and rely on them to look after everything. It was such an incredible gift to have them, and to have this time for our family holiday.

Katelyn and Jason arrived to care for Tosca and quickly picked up all the information we fired at them in the time we had available prior to our departure. We instantly warmed to them and felt sure they would look after our home and dog carefully. They had their work cut out for them as Tosca had 3 savage ear infections which needed a detailed daily routine and she seemed in good health and good heart when we returned - in fact I think she missed them for the first couple of days! We left the house clean and tidy for them and found our home in the same way which was nice. They kindly stayed on a little longer on the last day so Tosca wasn't alone for too long before our return. In short, they are a delightful young couple who made the most of being in this beautiful part of England and we hope to welcome them back here again before they head home to Australia.

Lucia and Juan were superb house guests and pet sitters. Our 3 dogs were very happy in their care. Mopsy got a sore paw when we were away. Lucia and Juan let us know and arranged a quick visit to our local vets. Our home was very clean and tidy when we returned (a day early), the dogs were all well and we enjoyed a few meals together. Happy to provide further references if required. Thank you Lucia and Juan and good luck with your adventures.

We had Marina look after our dog for a long weekend. She had great communication when organising a time to meet and was prompt with replying to messages when we were away. Marina left the house super tidy and our dog was very relaxed when we got home. Would highly recommend anyone use Marina as she was a lovely person to meet and made us feel comfortable with our first sit.

Marg was a complete pleasure to have in our home. Unflappable and very organised. She coped really well with the rather unexpected builders and most importantly made sure Buie our elderly dog was very well cared for. Lots of contact with photos throughout our holiday. We highly recommend her and hope to see her on her return.

This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. 

Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties.  
Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. 

Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. 

We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.

Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend!

Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked.  She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country.   She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!

Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!

Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left !  She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!

My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married.  We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home.  We were gone for a month.  Picking the right houses sitter was important.  We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!

Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right.

But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! 

My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!

Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends.  My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left.  My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night.  She is a true animal magnet and lover.  I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.

If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy!  I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch.  I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through.  I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats!

Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!).  I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly,  who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer.  I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was.

Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport.  When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook.  He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping.  He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!).  We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands.

Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away.  He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties).    When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me!

It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter.  He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
